Bespoke security grilles in Dartford: what will it cost?

Most bespoke security grilles in Dartford fall within £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

A bespoke security grille is designed and fabricated for one particular opening, such as an arched window, a curved bay, a very large screen or a period building where a standard grille would look wrong. It is measured on site, drawn up and made to suit.

Retractable, fixed, removable or hinged in bespoke shapes
Decorative bar patterns and scroll work
Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles
Any RAL colour, galvanised or both

Getting the right bespoke grille for your building

Budget

Design approval

We agree a drawing showing bar layout, sections and finish before anything is made.

What the rules say in England

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Bespoke security grilles in Dartford: questions

Do you cover Bexley as well as Dartford?

Yes. As well as Dartford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bexley, Swanley and Welling, and elsewhere in Kent.

Can you make a grille for an arched window?

Yes. Fixed and removable grilles can follow the arch exactly, and retractable grilles can be fitted below the springing line with a fixed arched panel above.

Can you copy an existing grille design?

We can make a grille in a similar style for a matching window. We do not copy other firms' registered designs.

Can a grille be designed for a listed building?

Yes. Slim sections, matched colours and minimal fixings help, but listed building consent is still needed for works that affect the building's character.
